It does seem pretty akward right now, after all this waiting Nash finally decides to join the raptors...What would the reaction be like, knowing he didn't "really" want to come here, but in the end we were his best option in terms of financial stability

That's the thing isn't it? It's more about what people believe.
I believe it's not that he didn't want to come here, he just wanted to hear other offers. Whether it be for piece of mind or maybe there is a small part of him that does want to take another shot at a ring.
Either way, I really do hope he decides to come to Toronto.
